1990 AUDI 80
This car idles and runs great when there is cooler weather or it is
raining. When it is hot and dry it idles very bad. It ran great all winter but during 80+ degrees and dry it has very unstable idle. Why does it run good with cooler wet weather? |

Jim,
Sounds like the opposite - bad wires usually short out when wet. Sounds more like vapour lock in the fuel system - are all of the heat shields in place around the injector hoses? Maybe check at www.humanspeakers.com/audi to see if Huw has a solution. Cheers!
